The owners have shown before what importance they put on reputation. Look at the aftermath of the orgy/thai sex thing. Not sure all will be sold given the error. But they've definitely all lost a lot of good will and respect from the hierarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Just now, ttfn said: I reckon Brendan would probably agree with you and Roy Keane would agree with me. Not sure how I feel about that! I know what you’re saying and I am sympathetic to it - I think you’re slightly over-simplifying what I’m saying. I’m not sure if we lose at home to Palace, for example, it would be a sign of a poor mentality, much as I haven’t pointed to other similar games throughout this season where we’ve lost. You can’t win every game. But equally you can’t fail to be concerned about the absolute poverty of some of the performances we’ve seen in “big games” - you keep mentioning the Liverpool game this season but we were absolutely wretched for 75 minutes in that and were let in by Liverpool’s January-March meltdown. Today we had a good chance to take a decisive step towards the CL by not only winning ourselves but damaging a rival. The only league game I highlighted in my examples which wasn’t against a rival was Bournemouth and that was because it had truly become “do or die” at that point, as close to a must win game as you can get at that stage of the season. That Villa semi final has left a huge question mark over this side’s bottle and it hasn’t been successfully answered - a win and a performance against Southampton next week would change a lot in that regard. I'm not completely dismissive of what you say and for a while I was of this exact same view point but on reflection I think it was a bit too narrow minded. I also felt that given how bad the collapse of last season was that to pick themselves up and be in the top 4 again all season whilst beating every one of the big 6 this season is a huge tick in the progression both physically and mentally. I also think there's been some high pressure games in the last couple of months where I really feared for us based on my anxieties of past experience and yet we turned up and delivered. Today is a massive concern though, I can't pretend it's nothing and that we aren't perhaps throwing this away again but I'm merely pointing out how diffcult/impossible it is not to be viewed as bottle jobs when the margin between success and failure is so fine for a club like ours who do a remarkable job of putting ourselves in the positions we do. Anyway, still so much to play for and for all me sticking up for them, I fully demand they regroup and make a better fist of this stretch of games. We have to win on Sunday, I now view that as imperative as anything else and the perfect opportunity for us to prove we win big games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 The details of what they actually did to miss this game aren’t that important to me, it’s more that they made a choice to put their own bullshit ahead of the success of Leicester City football club in arguably the biggest game of our season so far. They knew the risks involved. These aren’t the types of people you want to rely on if you want to achieve something as a team. Their actions show they aren’t dedicated enough, and have a lack of respect for their teammates. Maddison playing golf instead of even showing up to the stadium tells you even more about his personality. Hopefully they will be someone else’s problem after the summer transfer window. Slightly different for Barnes, who wasn’t risking his part in this game, albeit still stupid. Morgan... if he was there I’d be shocked, and he should lose the captaincy if he was, a moronic example to set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 10 minutes ago, Lako42 said: Sorry, do you know the details? The club have decided it isn't acceptable and they have drilled it into the players that they won't accept it. Simple as that. I think you’re arguing with the wrong person. I fully agree that the club doesn’t accept it and has dealt with it. What I dont agree with is posters blowing it out of proportion and calling for the players involved to be sacked or worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackenbacker Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 I'm confused were Madders and the others play golf or at a party? Or were they combining both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 42 minutes ago, surrifox said: Ok by way of explanation I wasn’t referring to the round of golf I was referring to the party he attended and which BR has just confirmed was in breach of guidelines and considered sufficiently serious to justify being dropped ( which BR admitted was his decision) The reference “ I was doing it in my own time” is no defence to misconduct . Still the drugs as a comparison is a bit of a stretch. I feel this has been handled proportionately with an eye on the current guidelines but with also the situation we are all in. Its hard to punish someone for something that should never in a million years be illegal, wasn’t illegal just over a year ago and won’t be illegal in a few weeks time. I’ve been making the point over and over. The club have dealt with it internally as they should, people are overreacting saying its a sackable offence (Its not) and that if he’s playing golf today thats his prerogative. The club have given him time off, even as punishment, he can do whatever he wants in that time as long as its legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Barnes was spending time with about 10 mates in the Dog and Gun whetstone at the beginning of this when we needed to book in and rule of 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Renard Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Some on here really do dislike Maddison! Has he become the new Chilwell? I think he and the others have let Rodgers down most of all, Rodgers treats his players like adults and trusts his players to respect the rules.

twister Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Maddison represents modern football, they only care about money now unless their at a united or city. bale and his haircut represent modern football to be honest the thing is a money driven shitshow and their are better ways to spend your money **** the lot of em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be true, but surely in this case, watching your ‘mates’ at home on the box, social media/phone off, isn’t too much to ask is it ?

It's one thing for it to happen at the start of the season but right before the end of the season with so much at stake is gonna be hard to forgive. They need a top 4 finish or FA Cup final at least to make amends. We've a history of these scandals and more often than not - Collymore, La Manga, Thailand- it's end game for those involved. Unlike before our fanbase has made huge sacrifices in their lives and this is a bit of an insult to people who have suffered throughout. What a horrible day this day been. One of the worst ever no two ways about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of sacking / cancelling contracts is ridiculous and I would also back BR that he has to show that actions can have consequences . I didn’t see any reference to playing golf so offer no view either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
